Following a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University, he worked at Lederle Labs in Pearl River, New York, screening microorganisms for antibacterial activity. After a few years he applied for an academic position at Vanderbilt and was hired as an assistant professor in 1964.

The superbug we're talking is a little guy called Enterococci. And it's the godfather of superbugs. Because back in the '80s, Enterococci bacteria were one of the first pathogens to become resistant to almost all the antibiotics available.

Today Enterococci bacteria have become a major source of hospital infections in the U.S. The microbes sicken nearly 70,000 Americans and kill more than 1,000 each year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

Many of these special genes are involved in hardening and fortifying the bacteria's cell wall. "They help make the bacteria rugged and able to withstand drying out and exposure to disinfectants," Gilmore says.

Gilmore says he came up with hypothesis while remembering his pet goldfish. "I was thinking about that little string of poop that would come out of the fish," he says. "Remember, these are bacteria that live in the guts of animals, but sometimes they are excreted out in feces."

Hence, more collagen-rich foods are marketed for their anti-ageing properties; hemp oil is sold to help relieve stress; coconut water is advertised as a weight-loss aid; and products with live bacteria have migrated from health food stores to supermarkets.

Wild Fermentation and Katz's 2012 follow-up, The Art of Fermentation, have become bibles for anyone wanting to know how long kimchi takes to develop depth of flavour and what the heck kefir actually is. (NB: Traditionally, kefir is a cultured, fermented milk drink, although many water kefirs now exist made with bacteria and yeasts feeding on carbohydrates instead of lactose. Sugar water, coconut water and soy milk are common kefir canvases.)

The author believes increasing interest around fermentation owes a lot to a change in the public image of bacteria."Those of us born and raised in the 20th century never heard a positive word about bacteria," Katz says. "All we ever heard was how dangerous bacteria could be; how we had to avoid bacteria at all costs and destroy them with chemicals.

"There's an immune stimulation after exposure to diverse bacteria," Katz says. "A lot of researchers are thinking about why we're seeing large rises in childhood allergies and asthma, and the most widespread conclusion is that it is because of a lack of exposure to bacteria.

"The jury is still out on this, but we could be keeping our children too clean and not giving them enough exposure to diverse bacteria, whether that's playing in the dirt or touching animals. It's called the hygiene hypothesis."

Generally, bacteria will die when heated above 40C, as is the case with pasteurisation. "A can of sauerkraut from the cupboard might be delicious, but it's not going to contain any live cultures if it has been processed for shelf stability," Katz says.

For this reason, fermented products containing live bacteria will be found in a grocery store's chilled section. However, Flynn says shoppers should still check whether a refrigerated product has been processed. "I've seen American supermarkets place long-life milk in the fridge section, for example, even though it can exist on the shelf." Anything imported should be avoided, too, she says, as the products will likely be pasteurised before shipment and contain additional preservatives.

When we started reporting a fantastic, surreal story about one very cold night, more than 70 years ago, in northern Russia, we had no idea we'd end up thinking about cosmology. Or dropping toy horses in test tubes of water. Or talking about bacteria. Or arguing, for a year. Walter Murch (aka, the Godfather of The Godfather), joined by a team of scientists, leads us on what felt like the magical mystery tour of super cool science.

Sulfites occur naturally in all wines to some extent. Sulfites are commonly introduced to arrest fermentation at a desired time, and may also be added to wine as preservatives to prevent spoilage and oxidation at several stages of the winemaking. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) protects wine not only from oxidation, but also from bacteria.

On June 3rd Cody was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at home. Thankfully his dog Knoxy whined and woke Matt up so that he could not only get help but notify his mother, Pam. He had a fever of 107 and was unresponsive. It was a difficult couple days from there. The doctors worked tirelessly to bring his fever down and piece together what was happening. Cody had gotten an infection in his blood that reached one of the valves of his heart causing bacteria to build up in the valve and break off sending blood clots to his brain resulting in a series of mini strokes. It has been an uphill but I am glad to say that he is doing better everyday. His mother has been working to ensure that he receives proper care and that his medical expenses are paid, but the bills have not been easy for her. His insurance is also threatening to stop payment on the remainder of his hospital stay though he still needs 3 more weeks of antibiotics.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted between October 2018 and September 2019 to assess the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of clinical bacterial isolates obtained from four referral hospitals in Tanzania. We used standard media and Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion methods as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) standards.

In addition, without this novel suspended-solids filter, dissolved organic nutrients would build up and result in bacterial slime covering the plant roots, reducing plant growth and perhaps even killing the plants. The organic matter that accumulated on the bird netting underwent bacterial decomposition, a process known as mineralisation. This released nutrients from the organic matter in an inorganic form that is required for plant growth, as their roots can only absorb nutrients in an inorganic form. The major nutrients released from the organic matter are nitrogen and orthophosphate. This form of phosphorous is useable by plants and its release is a very important job performed by this novel filter. The netting biofilter needs to be periodically removed and cleaned with a high-pressure hose to remove the accumulation of organic matter; this proved to be a water-quality management tool which could be used to control the nitrate levels in the system. Frequent cleaning of the filter decreases solids accumulation and denitrification, resulting in higher nitrate levels in the system for the production of leafy green vegetables, like lettuce. Less frequent cleaning increases solids accumulation and denitrification, resulting in lower nitrate levels in the system for increased production of fruiting plants, like tomatoes.

The polymath Founding Father Benjamin Franklin could not have written (or said) anything remotely like this, although he did argue that wine was proof of God's love. Franklin was arguably the greatest scientist of his time, and established that the common cold was transmitted by inhaling other people's breath, but died decades before viruses or germs were even conceived of. By the time the scientific term "bacteria" came into being, Franklin had been dead 38 years.

In fact, when we were reporting this story, a video started circulating on the internet that showed a scientist taking a bottle of water, squirting out a little bit of this bacteria in, and then the thing just shocked into ice.

If they make ice, they can get back down, and they can get back down in a different place and start a new colony of bacteria somewhere else. And so, but this way, they get dispersed around the whole earth.

One could say that we communicate with our environment and those living with us at a microbial level. We shred millions of bacteria every hour, scattering around something that has a lot to say about us, at least biologically.

How do we explain the enigma that is the unique flavour and character of each individual distillery? Is it the water? The stills? What about the bacteria naturally present during fermentation? Dave Broom investigates.

So, in my pocket universe/headcanon, basically, there's several Grim Reapers in this world. Each Reaper reaps different kinds of death, at different assigned locations, which makes things smooth and efficient. In Lanius' case, he reaps deaths from bacterial/viral infections in Central Europe.

An interdisciplinary team of remarkable scientists (and great friends) put together a study leveraging AI to find new antibacterial molecules against Acinetobacter baumannii. I think we are well into an era of AI-augmented drug discovery...WOOO!!!

Before the AI can find a chemical that could kill A. baumannii, Stokes and his team trained it by feeding it data on bacteria-killing chemicals and chemical structures "associated with the antibacterial activity that we want," he said.

Once the AI model was trained, the team could then show it new chemicals it had never seen before. It could then predict which of those chemicals it thought were antibacterial and which ones it thought weren't.

New microbe drop this week! Researchers recently identified a strain of Subdoligranulum that appears to be linked to the development of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Using blood screening methods, researchers evaluated blood donated by people at risk of RA, with early-stage RA, or with RA-associated antibodies. The teams then evaluated whether any of the antibodies targeted human intestinal bacteria, after which, they seqeuneced bacterial species with attached antibodies, which revealed high reactivity with Lachnospiraceae or Ruminococcaceae species. Further stool analysis uncovered two types of Subdoligranulum bacteria as potential candidates for driving RA development. 006ab0faaa
